Cliffs get timely boost from Potter appearance

THE famed Cliffs of Moher is set to reach new popularity heights just days before an international search for the “new seven wonders of nature” finishes, when the famous rock face appears in the latest Harry Potter movie.

From July 17, when Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is released, parts of the movie filmed at the 700-foot high cliff formation will receive a worldwide audience of millions.

But cinema goers are already getting a taste of the action as the international trailer for the movie opens with a sequence shot from the famed site – a mere fortnight before the July 21 decision on the shortlist for the new wonders of nature.
